Fatal Intrusion: A Novel (Sanchez & Heron)

Carmen Sanchez is an agent with Homeland Security and Jake Heron is a professor who also works as a private security expert. Even though they have a complicated past, they join forces when Carmen’s sister is attacked by what looks to be a serial killer. The killer’s fascination with spiders leads them on a chase to stop his next Fatal Intrusion. However, it looks like this killer’s web goes much deeper than they thought and there are more players involved.

The plot sounded interesting, as well as the descriptions of the characters, but everything felt dry. The technical jargon is there, clearly the authors know what they’re talking about. However, it was hard to get interested in the characters. I’m not the biggest fan of knowing who the killer is from the beginning; it takes away a lot of the suspense.

If you enjoy police procedurals and hacker plots, this is a book for you. Just be prepared, it reads more like a manual than a thriller. Overall, it wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t exactly page-turner I was expecting.
